The Graduate - "I Survived" ICON MES

[MyLlamaDrama]

love this song

[AaronBurr17]

This song was on our store mix when I worked at American Eagle years ago. Otherwise, I never would have known its awesomeness.

[possumsrule]

This song never seems to be long enough.

[annebellelee1318]

Guys, this song isn't about suicide...It's about leaving Springfield, IL (their hometown) in a kind of rgrowing up and moving on way

[ismamoreno13]

this song isnt about suicede ppl omgoodness

[jdmsds]

Awesome song, awesome live band to see, check them out!

[me4you999]

this song is sweet

[MattyTsXe]

This song isn't about suicide but it's great people can take different meanings from it ya know? It's about finally making it out of his town, about finally making it in music, and that he wants to show what can happen to people who go for their dreams like he did. His friends can tell people that he's made it, and finally alive.

[XxChikanaAngelxX]

If it wereny for this song and Jesus.... Well, I wouldve been in hell right now anf regretting the me killing myself..... AWESOME SONG!!!

[boonediggity]

I absolutely love this song!

It's always amazing to me how a simple composition of words can bring a smile to some, a frown to others & change the mind of many.

This is a great anti-suicide song.

I don't know if thats what he thought of when he wrote it but it sure comes across as that.

Great song & sound. Video is awesome too.

[ghamary53093]

i <3 this songg

its really amazing

[XnevercominghomeX]

people that are arguing about this "emo" shit can jsut stfu.

you dont like it, then you shouldent say anything.

and besides if you comment on someone saying somthing like that then shouldent you just ignore them? its only edging them on to keep saying shit cause they know it pisses you off..

i love this song btw. its an amazing way to explain how some people think.

[djenos]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hinder159]

tHIs IS iS A rEAlLY gOOd SOnG!

[darkskyworld]

FUKk ERRBODY DAT DONT LIKE THIZ SONG THIZ IZ DA BEST

[Lunarsight]

I really can't get into this. It's too straightforward for my tastes.

[fui26gui]

i agree rminds me of my chemical romance without the punch

[bryantewell]

before you judge people based on their music, get to know them first. All these guys are really awesome dudes.

[tomoemo]

gurd song

[EternalTearsICry]

Nice beat it.

Nice voices.

That's all they need to go far.

=]

[conorbf]

they are not emo at all and there stuff isnt depressing ive seen them live and they are more pop punk and are amazing live, there gonna be one of the next big bands

[JonnieG33]

funny story... The Graduate is the formation of two pop-punk bands from central IL. haha and yes, they are not an emo band, def more powerpop than anything. like a motion city soundtrack thats light on the synth

[lorlproductions]

this is a great band!

[mikeymustdie]

these guys have got ripping off bands music down to a fine art

[36skyler36]

omfg almost sounds like panic at the disco...

[skeletokyo]

wtf ? NOT at all :S

[CarnageMerc]

Why bother lumber?

[LUMBERTHON]

buthwhynot???

[farmboybrian]

the "make up" looks to be an effect from the camera and/or lighting

[LUMBERTHON]

eeeeeeEEEEEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonowl700]

just stfu about your emo shit... not all emos are like that you're just stereotyping people based on MUSIC... how smart do you think you are now?

[LUMBERTHON]

(late reply) no, maybe not but the ones that you see everywhere weeping about being depressed are the ones that matter, and the ones that piss everyone off. and so fucking what if I am stereotyping based on their musical tastes? Most people that listen to rap/grime tend to be black or scallies. Most people that listen to D'n'B are pill-heads. Most people that listen to death/black/tech metal are moshers. You like sommat, be prepared to face the consequences.

[LUMBERTHON]

why the hell have none of my replies been posted next to the comments I was abusing!!???!! must be because its emo...

[Memo12Delarge]

aweeeesome!

[gwfrog]

i hate if some one says a song is emo becaus emo means emotional and a song should be emotiional to be good

but emo songs are the real opposit like that song there isn't any power from guittars or a goos drummer

and the singer doesent haf o good /loud voice either

all in all i just wuold say its a bad unpowerfulsong

[gwfrog]

ps.just laugh about emos, they will never die fromm cuttig their hand vertical becaus the muskels are above them

the result people who cut to deep just won't be abel to move there hand but will still life. and now try to cut your self without jusing your hands xD

[BrainBlast]

They are also a bit of alternative rock.

[urbanmenace]

first time i've heard this band, and i'm not the biggest fan of softer styled music(such as this) but i have to say that i actually thought this was pretty good.

[jollywhapp]

rocks

[LardInATubeSock]

Sounds too Fallout Boy/Panic! At the Dicsoey for my tastes. So basically skinny whiteboy music that's play on the radio.

[AlishaIceboxx]

wow, have you ever listened to emo music at all? i'm talkin' the bands that if you looked em up on myspace, their genres would be "emo" and "hardcore." listen to some chiodos before you call a band like this emo.

[krookapot]

I thought emo was just a trend.. You can't deny that this song is emotional but that doesn't mean it's emo. Every song is emotional. If not, why are they singing about love, life, hatred and stuff?

[UnnaturalFlaw]

fags

[rockerjosher]

emo?? this is shitty indie

[donteatananimal]

They do have talent, cool vidoe but just too Emo for my taste and all you people who like this don't jump on me for saying this is "Emo" and yelling "this isn't emo, this is rock, RAR!!" Shut up, It's emo...

[alexnoob]

You'r right dude.

Otherway nothing is emo. just rock.

This song is emotional. I dont like that kind of music but this song is good.

[krymzon]

i stumbled upon this as i was sifting for "good" music....not my cup o' tea...my opinion:...too emo

[Supermegadeathkiller]

Sucks.....

[godsvoice4]

wow...so you just go around heading to videos just to say they suck? you most be a very a lonely person

[Supermegadeathkiller]

No, someone told me tey were good so I came to check 'em up. And yes, i'm pretty lonely, but it has nothing to do with these actions.

[chinkybabo]

corey warning is so cute

i saw him perform last week 8]

[farmboybrian]

these guys are from my town, I never knew they were so good

[some0weird0guy]

haha faggot

[10ActsofDischarge]

I agree, this song is quite catchy.

And this video is really really cool

[Excelfan]

Indeed it's very catchy

[icantdeciden0w]

fucking awesome!!! love it!!!! so catchy!!!

[wallawalla1122]

I've never heard of this band until now,

And now I want to hear more. :D

Keep it up The Graduate.

[imabitchimaliar]

Kickazzzzz! I love these guys! They are awesome!!!!

[Quemin]

Gah! So generic...

[imabitchimaliar]

what a generic comment

[noodledum]

and what a generic reply *wink*

[RepentenceIV]

Yummy.

[bassHardrocker]

what.you.survived.of.sucking.i­.dont.think.so

[imabitchimaliar]

what did you say you sucked? 'cause I know a few fags that like that kind of thing. know what i mean?

[bassHardrocker]

hey ass stop being sizzy nobody cares about this guys sorry no one but your queer emo friends that dosent know what is a real piece of crap

[cheesehed101]

dude i am so tired of people commented every single rock video and saying "your emo this and that blah blah blah". Emo is short for emotional, sorry if people have feelings so if your not emo you are basicly saying you sit in your room all day and stare at a wall, which you clearly don't do because you seem to be pissed off that something was shoved up your ass or something.

[bassHardrocker]

another queer emo with pissed o i am sorry that your brain is fucked up that you call this piece of real crap rock. First of all we all know the meanig of emo you and alllll your emo queer friends had said it many many time the important of this that the fucking song sucks and emo well not even a movement is just crap music and extremly queer way to be dreppresed and dreess like a girl

[cheesehed101]

ya well i guess i since i'm emo i should run and hide from you because your name is so hardass "O KNOWS bassHardrocker, he is a hardrocker, look out" and like i said before i think you got something up your ass, so get it out of there, but of course you probably like it

[bassHardrocker]

men you dont get tired of me insulting you right well i will try to be nice and explain you that guys what ever they are i dont like them they suck ok and your right hardrocker is very short for a real metal fucker like me i think i should change my account so you emo crap stop crying about my comment

[IamMrAwesome]

Metal is possibly the worst genre ever spawned by Rock and Roll.

Not only is it horrible sounding, the general topics used are lame as hell.

Dragonforce=Warriors, firey mountains, and other fairy tale BS.

Metallica=Depression, bi-polar disorder, and antiwar, and lack of emotion.

Now please enlighten me using your horrible grammar skills, and poor choice of words.

Btw saw The Graduate live when I first heard them and they put on a really amazing show tons of energy and they sound great

[bassHardrocker]

where to start fist of all i am sorry that you only know to bands of metal and men please the others genre just talk about love or having sex wich metal also talks about and their sounds are more complicated and really shows real skills

then is you feel so dam cool for using words become a grammar teacher and stop wasting my time

i like to seee you try real hard laungauge casue english is my thrid and i very easy comapered with spanish and frech

[cheesehed101]

yes then i can go cut myself in the corner of the room.

[bassHardrocker]

you would do me a favor more if you stop fucking

[MyxSynningxSoul]

Honestly, if you've got so much time on your hands that you can sit around and watch videos of songs that you evidently didn't like, and then comment people and diss them for liking it- you're pretty fucked up. Try getting a real life.

[bassHardrocker]

hey men you do the same fucking i think you are pretty retard cause i can type and only takes me 1 minute and another minute to se if i liked the song

[IamMrAwesome]

The point of my reply was that you're dissing on a band you don't even fucking understand. All music is "emotional" sounding. If anything, Metal is probably the most lyrically emo music. Musical elitists fucking ruin music. And only two? Okaaaay. Lamb of God Pantera Kill Switch Engage Twisted Sister ...Do I have to keep going? Anyway. You're dissing on music, with no real reason. If you don't fucking like it, don't bother bashing people who do. Oh, and just so you know, progressive rock > Metal

[bassHardrocker]

men you dont get it i dont like that kind of shit because inspires the young people to only be dreppesed and no doing anything for this world that its getting more more fucked up every day ,attention i m not telling that this song nesesarilly is one of those but it sound like and men i dont start this

[MyxSynningxSoul]

A minute doesn't tell the truth behind an artist, maybe a song. Every band has that song that doesn't do them any true justice. I don't need to have so much time on my hands, it's Summer, and I'm a kid; therefore, it enables me with the ability to sit and tell off fuckers like you. And just a heads up- I'M A GIRL, fuckstick.

[bassHardrocker]

you right but also a song tells you the style of band i decided i noy worth it wasting more minutes in hearing more songs of that band and sweetie i just what to tell you i am also in summer vacation and thats no way to talk for a lady so dont bother replying i still gonna reply back and winning the arguments

thanks

the basshardrocker

[IamMrAwesome]

It's not about winning or losing an argument man, it's about how you came in to dis a band, and you didn't even get the song.

Uh, this song isn't even about being depressed.

If you understood it, you'd see that it's about moving on with life, and living life to the fullest.

If you don't like the sound, then whatever, but sound doesn't equal the meaning of a song.

And I'd have to say that Metal doesn't inspire kids to do anything, most metal heads are apathetic, mall goth kids.

[IamMrAwesome]

And to add on to my post.

If you want music about fixing the problems with the world, you'd be better off listening to real punk music.

Not green day, or that other mainstream garbage.

Bands like Defiance Ohio, Against Me!, and other politically charged bands.

[moonowl700]

dude, just shut up! first of all i'm not what you call an "emo queer" so just forget that defense for yourself, second of all it's not like we're going around listening to your metal and saying that it sucks, everyone has different opinions about music so GET OVER IT! you like metal, that's fine with me as long as you just don't go around dissing my music with your lies and misconceptions about what the artist is trying to convey through the music. just leave it the fuck alone already!

[xeoux]

well its a good song i really agree and i do agree it should have been more metal so i stick to that i luv the song, btw Ubertoober i saw ur dad wear eyeliner O.o was kinda a HUGE mess

[jtmmusic]

Wow... I really like this.

[Eisleyfan]

My new favorite song.

[GAMEFAN501]

cool

[UberToober]

Sorry... Eyeliner on dudes is not cool... Fail

[sscottishgirl]

you do know that they arent wearing eyeliner right. fag.

[UberToober]

The few times I skipped ahead in this shit song all I heard, "die(self)", "empty pages", "used to be" etc. etc. You put two and two together and you get emo, which corresponds pretty well with the black and white video, the whiney nasally faggot ass voice, and the make-up these girls are obviously wearing (the lead singer anyways). My apologies that I took up your valuable time to respond to this, you can go back to slashing your wrists now.

[sscottishgirl]

ok, so one. their now emo, and if you seriously think that they are you have no clue waht emo is. and the comment about cutting is horrible. for one, i dont cut. and two, you are completely crule to say that. oh and btw, i know they werent wearing makeup because i know them. and they are so far from emo or whatever you calling them.

[LUMBERTHON]

Er... Ah. Hah. HAHA. HAHAHAHA!!!! AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAHAAAHAHAAA!!!­!!!!!!!!!! Epic lulz! You should 'cut' it would improve your life

[BrainBlast]

They are actually more of a punk band .. Hardly emo.

[LUMBERTHON]

I would say they were a poo band. But then I'm sane so none of you will agree with me... Nevermind eh?

[AlishaIceboxx]

1) if you'd listen to the chorus, it clearly says "i don't want to today, i want to live and love and write it down," which does not sound one bit emo.

2) i've seen them in concert twice, and the lead singer doesn't wear makeup. if you look closely at about 1:10, there's no black around his eyes.

[UberToober]

Ok, ok. From what It looks like to a newcomer such as myself, that is what it looks like. Either the facts that I've listed or the fact that im not 11 anymore, I don't find this band entertaining or anything special in the least bit. They are a dime a dozen, and really what they're doing isn't anything new.

The point I'm trying to make is, I expected Blank TV to be a fully punk channel, and it disappointed me with this stuff.

[LUMBERTHON]

its not about what they sing or what the look like, they are still depressingly emo. Immortal wear make up, yet they ent emo. Far from it in fact. you all need to die... :-)

[AlishaIceboxx]

that doesn't really make sense but...okay

when you say "you all need to die," are you implying that I'M emo? i'm actually preppy...heh

[LUMBERTHON]

preppy? what is this? wait, save it. i dont care.

[LUMBERTHON]

yea, they were born that way. make up embedded into their skin cos theyre THAT FREAKIN GAY!!! The world will be much better off when emos no longer exist. Why the fuck am I even here? Oh, cos the guy had links to one of the best bands EVUH!!!! Listen 2 decapitated if you want some depressing emotional music. Tard...

[Felixismyusername]

Is this band recently started or just really underrated?

[sscottishgirl]

they have been around for a while, and yes they are really underrated. its sad, because everyone loves them, and they arent as big as they should be. :(

[crazydanishdude]

this music would be awesome if there was some fucking metal in the background!

[XxuchihaXbl00dxX]

yuck dont like it
